Before the event you need to spread the word. In Videosync, there are multiple ways to share your event to your attendees. The simplest way is to copy the event link or embed the event, but you can also reach out to users via email.
The most straight-forward way to share the link to your audience is to copy it in Share ⇒ Share and Embed. You can simply click the copy icon.
Now you can directly to your attendees from your clipboard!
In Event sharing settings, you can also change how the link preview will look, for example, on social medias.
You can also embed the event to your own website by using event-specific embed code in Share ⇒ Share and Embed.
We recommend using the longer embed code because it adapts to the size of the player automatically, but it is also possible to simpler embed method by using the shorter embed code.
If you want to differentiate analytics from different embed locations, add different embed location names accordingly to different embed codes. Views and unique users from each embed location will be visible in the analytics dashboard.
Videosync can send reminders, registration confirmations and invites for you.
You can find Email settings in two locations:
To invite attendees to your event using email, go to Share ⇒ Invite.
In these settings, you can modify the settings of invitation emails. You can change the sender, email subject, message (with separate header & footer), Join button’s text, signature and help text. There is also a button to preview the invitation email to see how it looks in the participants’ email.
You can include a calendar invitation to your email message. If you need to, you can change the event dates and calendar title, location and organizers.
You can add email addresses to the textarea as shown above. To add the registrants, click the "Add to audience" button.
If you want see the registrants or/and send invitations, click "Show audience and send invitations". The list contains all registrations, which you can modify and remove.
To send the invitation email, select all or certain ones from the leftmost column and click "Send Emails to selected".
You can also send emails to only some of the participants.
Here, for example, a custom registration field “Location” is used to filter out the participants that have selected “On-site” as their location in the registration form.
First, you filter out the participants by using the input field on the top of the “Location” column to show only “on-site” participants, then select all from the leftmost column and click “Send Emails to selected”.
It is good to note that when sending emails using Send Emails to selected sends invitation email template, not the registration email template.

You can also edit the invitation email beforehand to personalize it for on-site users using the “Modify invitation email*”*** settings before sending.

The Email Reminder feature allows you to set up automated email reminders that will be sent to registered users relative to an event’s publishing date. Reminders can be scheduled for both before and after the publishing date.
Reminders are configured with a time offset in minutes from the publishing date
You can add reminders by enabling Registration ⇒ Email settings ⇒ Email reminders, and clicking Add reminder email before the event or Add follow-up email after the event.
After clicking either of the buttons above, you will see a form like this:
Wherever you use :EVT_NAME, it will be replaced with the event’s name.
You can also preview the email with Preview reminder email which opens only a preview of the email that will be sent. Final email may differ from this preview as email clients render the email differently.
To prevent users from receiving reminders too soon after registration, the system implements smart timing logic:
Minimum Time Before Reminder
The system calculates a minimum required time between user registration and when they can receive a reminder. This is determined by:
